Did you check to see what happened when you used jemalloc?

  The bloat went away and memory usage became much more "normal".

    That's what we see in our app, and I used to see all the time in others (I was a performance and scaling consultant for years). It's trivial to use jemalloc on heroku, so you may as well, and after that it's mostly preventing too much loading of AR objects.

      > It's trivial to use jemalloc on heroku Can you share the method you are using to do it? Not challenging, actually answering. Googling I'm not sure which thing I'm finding is the trivial one you use/recommend.

        Sure thing! This is what we use: https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/gaffneyc/heroku-buildpack-jemalloc https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/gaffneyc/heroku-build...
